That’s not entirely correct. Finance managers know which banks buy which types of customers depending on credit score, the amount borrowed, etc. They have relationships wit the bank reps and can call in favors to get people approved. Unless you just want people with marginal credit blanket denied in an automated…

Did John Deere hire Uber’s HR manager? That’s how they talk about driver earnings.

If you are at 0%, then you are paying entirely principal over those 84 months, which will help the buyers keep pace with depreciation. 

No consumer wants to admit that the prices on things are “what the buyer will pay” and not a set percentage above cost. That’s why a 20oz bottle of soda cost more than a 2 liter

Yeah, no. I don’t use CarPlay currently exactly because it takes over too much. No thanks

Cevy Cruze RS. Ground effects, a larger hatchback spoiler, and an RS badge (but only on the front!). The rest of the car was just an LT, including the rear badging and the wheels. No performance bits of any kind, unless you count the black headliner inside.

Seems like a lot of unnecessary pot stirring on the Lightning. The EV is just another trim of the F150. Want a gas motor? Go buy one! It’s not like Ford discontinued all the gas motors and went all EV. The EV needs to prove its worth to the truck market. And so it shall.

You jump through a lot of hoops to justify this behind the times vehicle. EV proponents brush off the range issue by saying :just rent a gas vehicle for that long trip.” Ok, what happens in 2030 when the ICE bans kick in and it gets increasingly harder to rent a gas vehicle? Then this vehicle will be of little use. 

The problem with the Dart, besides the Fiat mechanicals, was that Dodge went way overboard with the factory options. Multiple engines, multiple transmissions, trims, stand alone options etc. Impossible for a dealer to know what to order, impossible for a customer to find what they just built online. Then it was a…

Maybe a side effect of this will be that dealers stop with the last second markups to chase customers away from their orders.

My brother bought an RV more than 10 years ago, and was told then not to buy a new one, buy used instead, so the original owner can sort out the problems first. 

We arrest too many people for stupid stuff in this country, but I’d say running over 6 people should qualify.

It could just catch fire like the early current generation Escapes.

I’d venture to guess the whole project is only profitable at MSRP, especially the base hybrid, so Ford is never going to have fleets of these sitting on the lot with $4k cash on the hood

My buddy sells Nissans and he says the minimum ADM is $3000 over MSRP. Crazy, but they are still selling. I’ve gone the opposite way, and put deposits on 2 unobtanium cars: a 2020 leftover Chevy Bolt at a massive discount, and a 2022 Ford Maverick at MSRP.

Did the city replace the speed bump?

Uh, no. My local city installed giant speed humps on some streets, and a few of them are so large that bottom of my front bumper bottoms out no matter how slow I go. 

The Emmys are just sad that Seth Rogan called out the bad look of unmasked elites crammed into an “outdoor” tent while the unwashed, hopefully unseen servant class stands at the sides masked up, as if they are somehow the dirty ones.

There is nothing wrong with added dealer markups that the dealer is upfront about. But trying to extort people who have waited months just isn’t right. I’d blow them up on social media, call the local news team’s problem solver unit, etc. Shame them into doing the right thing. If that doesn’t work, walk away. 

So are we headed to the place where you can just refuse to cooperate with police, and in that circumstance the police just have to walk away? Why are we picking apart every decision these officers make when they are being faced with hostile and uncooperative citizens who then decide to flee? License and registration…
